"What are your reasons for your opinion?"

I agree that the Anglican-Use parishes are less "progressive" in liturgical tone and more traditional than many other types of RCC parishes (from what I've heard from friends, anyway).

My perspective comes from being part of a very Anglo-Catholic, high church sort of parish. We use the 1928 BCP so a rite more or less finalized in 1980 or doesn't seem wildly traditional to me. LOL!

Although some Anglo-Catholics do long for union with Rome, I'm not among them. Most of us are skeptical of the structure of Roman Catholicism and feel that there is not enough reliance on scripture. Then too there are doctrinal issues between us, some of which are weighty. Even where we do agree doctrinally, we disagree on approach.

What the heck kind of statement is that? Not dividing? So are the Protestants now believers in Our Lady's intercession? Are we going to sell her out as we have done at Vatican II and not call her the mediatrix?

I have been reading that the Pope not taking the Papal Oath any longer (as he as well as the Priests are just "presiders"), the liberalization of the seminaries, ordination of homosexual liberal Candidates was all so the Catolic's church insistance on Participation in the WCC and the issues have been the Pope and woman ordination and Mary. Now that Vatican II and the aftermath of has sold out all on these issues-what is stopping the unification and one world religion?

Most Anglican services are more reverent that the Novus Ordo services anyway.

Traditional catholicism for my and my family forever. Cant tolerate weakness and compromise of Our Lord and his church and his mother for anyone
